Nigel Farage avoids police probe into election spending
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Nigel Farage will avoid a probe into his election spending after police revealed that an investigation cannot take place. It was claimed that Reform UK had overspent on Farage's general election campaign last year in Clacton, Essex. The claims, reportedly submitted to the Metropolitan Police by former Reform councillor Richard Everett, alleged the party exceeded the 20,660 spending limit in the Essex constituency. However, Essex Police confirmed its assessment found the report falls outside the one-year statutory time limit, meaning "no investigation can take place"."
